Press Release Fun: The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival Comes to NYC!

It’s that time of year again. So break out your creativity and reserve your seat for our March 22nd showing. Note that if you live in NYC and you want to submit, the deadline is March 8th. Plenty of time to come up with something fantastic!

Elizabeth Bird is currently New York Public Library's Youth Materials Collections Specialist. She has served on Newbery, written for Horn Book, and has done other lovely little things that she'd love to tell you about but that she's sure you'd find more interesting to hear of in person. Her opinions are her own and do not reflect those of NYPL, SLJ, or any of the other acronyms you might be able to name. Follow her on Twitter: @fuseeight.

The 90 Second Newbery Film Festival is a hoot—both the films and the hosts. It’s like “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),” only with children’s literature favorites. Some amazingly creative takes on the books!
